Ireland is the only civilized coun-
try in the world which did not share
in the celebration ofQueen Victoria S
jubilee. United Ireland, Mr.. VIII
liam O'Brien's paper, says of the fact:
"She stood sternly and sorrowfully
aloof. lreland's place ought to have
been beside England at the throne.
Irish blood and brain helped to build
the empire. Poverty, misery and
slavery are her reward. She shared
England's labors, but she may not
share her triumphs. England's joy
is for fifty years liberty, prosperity
and progress. The Irish grief and
wrath are for fifty years Of misery,
famine and oppression. England is
numbered by the struggles OF sui
len captive, when she might pur-
chase by justice the aid and comfort
of friend"

ENLARGEMENT OF THE MALE ACADEMY.

When the Male Academy WAS erected
TWO years ago it was thought ample for any
school which we were likely to have Prot.
Harris began in January 1886 with thirty
boys and the school increased to double
that number during the term. The second
and third terms were more successful, and
The school numbered nearly hundred
More teachers are needed and more school
room is required. The school has already
gone beyond the capacity of the building
and promises to be larger. 1t only requires
about $500 to make suitable addition.
If this amount can be raised and the build
ing completed by the opening of the Fall
term. we can have better school than we
have yet had, and one equal to any of its
grade in the State. ENocH FAw.

Less Food Needed In hummer.

Growth and waste and repair go on in
nearly uniform way the whole year
through, but the amount of food nee
essary for these operations or purposes
is surprisingly small. The generation
of bodily heat requires more variable
quantity of food. In winter, with the
temperature of the external air at zero,
the temperature of the blood in healthy
persons is 0s.3 degrees, and when the
heats Of summer drive the mercury of
the thermometer near to or above that
mark, the blood still registers 0s.8 de-
grees. The marvellous mechanism by
which this uniform blood temperature is
maintained at all seasons it is not nee
essary to consider, but it must
be evident to every one that the
force needed to raise the temperature
of the whole body to nearly 100 degrees
in winter is no longer needed in sum
mer. The total amount of food needed
for repair, for growth, and for heating,
physiology teaches us, is much less than
is generally imagined, and it impresses
us with the truth of the great surgeon
Abernethy's saying, that "one-fourth of
what we eat keeps us, the other three
fourths we keep at the peril of our
lives In winter we burn up the sur
plus food with limited amount of extra
exertion. In summer we get rid of it
literally at some extra risk to health and,
of course, to life. We cannot burn it..

CLEVELAND AND PEN SlONS.
what Has Becn Done for Union HerOe
In the Past Two Years.


During the past two years that President
Cleveland has been i'll office he has approved S63
private pension acts Grant in eight years
approved only 40 Mr.. Hayes in four years
only 303, and Garfield and Arthur in the
same time 1856. Beside this, President
Cleveland has approved three general
pension acts--the first, of March 10,
1856, increasing to Sl2 the pension of 1887
widows, minors and dependent relatives Of
Union soldiers: the second, of August 4, 1896,
increasing the pension of 10030 crippled and
manned Union soldiers of the late war from
$24 to $50, from $50 to S36 and from $3.50
to S45 per month aud the third, of January
80, 1887, which has already placed upon the
pension rolls S455 survivors and widows of
the war with Mexico, and this number will
be increased to at least 5000 within the
present fiscal year The pension office rec
ortls show that l3l, $50 more certificates OF
pensions were issued during tho
first two years of the Demo-
cratic administration than durin &
the last two years of Republican rule. in the
same period of comparison the Democratic
administration distributed SIC, Gli ,02Gm more
TO pensioners than did the Republican. An
equally excellent showing is made in the mat
ter of additions to the pension rolls. In this
item the present administration is 15,40S
names ahead of the two preceding Gen.
Blacks appointment This, too, is in the face
of the fact that the clerical force OF the bu-
leau of pensions has been reduced l24 within
the past two years. and that the death rate
among the old soldiers is rapidly increasing
as the years go by
